THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1973 ROUND AND ABOUT WITH MARTHA I don't know how many of you viewed the gyrations of the lake last Sunday,. but if you did, you will agree, it was an awesome and thrilling sight. We certainly had.high winds . and, .tn spots, a twister created havoc, but watching the Lake Huron waves just cast a spell - on you. The roar and size of them as they came crashing in, pounding the shoreline to pieces, made you feel pretty helpless! I have seen storm waves on the Gulf of Mexico - they made you shudder, - but I couldn't believe Lake Huron was big enough - or deep enough to throw up waves almost as big as those in the ocean. All along the shoreline, trees were washed out and the earth undermined and dropping into the water. It just made me sick to see it. The cottagers have • been dumping stones and everything they,can find, in front of their cotages to hold that tiger, but it looks pretty hopeless. every one = had its quota and more, 1 laughed at one cute blond teacher who moaned, "Twenty-five - how will I ever cope with -twenty-five!"

You can, just imagine how I felt -when we were introduced to a giant jointer - planer - machine, tall drill press, huge bench saw, floor saw, band saw - all kinds and shapes of saws; intricate looking lathes and a lot of other frightening things especially when the power was turned on.
